NOPE Meetings

Our virtual meetings are our signature events. Lively and well-run, they provide political insight and first-hand information about battleground states, candidates, grassroots organizing, strategic giving and volunteering. Attendees are given an opportunity to donate directly to featured candidates and groups.

JUNE 24 MEETING RECAP

Congresswoman Abigail Spanberger told us that she wants Virginia’a elections to show the entire country that America rejects the Trump-MAGA agenda.

Luis Aguilar of CASA in Action shared that his grassroots organization is already out in the field engaging under-represented voters on issues like housing affordability.

House of Delegate candidates Kimberly Pope Adams (Petersburg) and Jessica Anderson (Williamsburg), who are both challenging Republican incumbents as Dems hope to hold their one-seat House majority, talked about what they are learning from voters in their districts. They also reminded us of the extraordinary expense of running a competitive campaign for the Virginia house ($1.8 to $2.5 million).
